About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead and support machining problem-solving, process optimization, and continuous improvement initiatives across sites
Set technical direction across sites rather than owning day-to-day production programming
Serve as the cross-site resource for CAM programming strategy and standardize Mastercam usage
Evaluate AI-assisted programming capabilities and coordinate cross-site programming and engineering practices
Provide hands-on programming and machining support during capacity constraints, new launches, or critical timing
Develop CNC programs for multi-axis mills, lathes, mill-turns, and Swiss-type lathes
Develop custom macro routines for dimensional adjustments, probing, tool breakage detection, and closed-loop machining
Use CAD software to create 3D models, machining and inspection fixtures, custom cutting tools, and fabrication drawings
Support new product development, contract review, project kickoffs, validation, and production launches
Maintain project documentation, schedules, milestones, and status reports for engineering and senior leadership
Evaluate new opportunities for site fit and determine machining approaches, tooling, workholding, and process sequences
Develop cycle-time estimates and process assessments for costing and pricing
Provide DFM feedback on customer models and drawings
Recommend equipment and support capital justification tied to quoted work
Serve as customer-facing technical subject matter expert during quoting and business-development discussions
Design and propose fixturing and workholding methods to improve cycle time, quality, repeatability, and capacity
Build equipment and process trade-off analyses covering approach, cycle time, yield impact, and ROI

Requirements

What you’ll need

10+ years of hands-on experience in precision manufacturing, CNC programming, and process engineering, preferably within a regulated industry such as medical device, aerospace, or automotive
Proficiency with CAD software for 3D part and assembly modeling and detailed manufacturing drawings
Proficiency with CAM software, including toolpath development and machining simulation, preferably Mastercam
Familiarity with Mastercam AI-assisted programming and toolpath optimization capabilities, e.g., Mastercam 2026 R2 or later
Strong ability to read, write, and edit CNC numerical programs, including G-Code and M-Code
Experience machining titanium, stainless and alloy steels, aluminum alloys, engineered plastics, and other commonly machined materials
Experience programming and operating multi-axis machining centers, multitask lathes, 5-axis mill-turns, and Swiss-type CNC lathes
Strong ability to interpret complex engineering drawings and apply GD&T in accordance with ASME Y14.5
Demonstrated ability to take machined products from concept through development, validation, and full-scale production
Ability to assess machining processes for cost, cycle time, and manufacturability and translate assessments into quote and DFM inputs
Willingness to travel domestically up to 30–40% when located out of the Durham, Hudson area
Preferred: experience in orthopedic or medical device manufacturing; orthopedic implants, surgical instruments, or related medical components; medical-grade materials; advanced 5-axis machining; quoting or estimating; customer-facing technical interactions; ISO 13485, FDA regulations, GMP, and medical device quality systems; SPC, FMEA, process validation, and continuous improvement; CMMs and precision measurement equipment; Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma; Mastercam AI-enabled programming tools; technical mentoring or informal team leadership; emerging manufacturing technology
